In-Depth Guide

Building a Pinterest Clone: Visual Discovery Platform

Pinterest is a visual bookmarking and discovery platform. Users pin images to themed boards, follow others with similar interests, and discover new content through a personalized feed. The technical requirements include a masonry grid layout for image display, pin creation with URL or upload, board management, a follow system, image search, and a recommendation algorithm. Fabricate generates visual discovery platforms with the characteristic masonry layout and board organization.

Visual Feed: Masonry grid layout using CSS grid or a masonry library, infinite scroll, image lazy loading, and pin preview on hover.

Board System: Create themed boards, save pins to boards, secret boards, collaborative boards, and board following.

Discovery: Home feed from followed accounts, explore by category, search by keyword with visual results, and related pins recommendations.
